:00:21. > :00:35.Police in Florida say at least 20 people have been killed in what they

:00:36. > :00:39.say is an act of domestic terrorism after a gunman opened fire at a

:00:40. > :00:43.nightclub in Orlando. In a press conference in the last few minutes,

:00:44. > :00:46.police say there are multiple dead following an attack at a popular gay

:00:47. > :00:52.nightclub in the city. The gunman took several clubgoers hostage,

:00:53. > :00:53.before being shot dead in the early hours of the morning. -- shot dead

:00:54. > :01:02.by police. Video posted on social media records

:01:03. > :01:07.the sounds of gunshots coming from the Pulse nightclub, a popular gay

:01:08. > :01:12.dance venue. Police say there are mass casualties. One man who was

:01:13. > :01:16.inside described it. I don't think anybody knew what was going on until

:01:17. > :01:20.they saw people on the ground bleeding, heard people screaming and

:01:21. > :01:25.heard the commotion. When you are in a bar like that, you really think it

:01:26. > :01:27.is the music. Traumatised and injured clubbers were helped from

:01:28. > :01:31.the scene and taken to hospital for treatment. One mother received text

:01:32. > :01:35.is from her son who said they were trapped in the toilet and feared

:01:36. > :01:39.they were going to die. Another mother was distraught, trying to

:01:40. > :01:44.find dead person was still alive. I don't know where my son is, no one

:01:45. > :01:49.can tell me where he is, if he has been shot, if he is dead, no one

:01:50. > :01:53.knows. But they told me there are fatalities.

:01:54. > :01:56.Dozens of emergency the calls attended outside, including the

:01:57. > :02:01.city's bombs quad and hazardous material team. The gunman is

:02:02. > :02:05.reported to have barricaded himself into the club and taken hostages.

:02:06. > :02:10.Police performed a controlled explosion outside the club and have

:02:11. > :02:14.confirmed that the gunman is dead. They are appealing for witnesses as

:02:15. > :02:16.part of their investigation into a night of terror.

:02:17. > :02:18.David Cameron has warned that spending on pensions,

:02:19. > :02:21.the NHS and defence might not be protected from cuts in the longer

:02:22. > :02:25.term if the UK leaves the European Union.

:02:26. > :02:29.Vote Leave have called it a baseless threat but the Prime Minister said

:02:30. > :02:33.he had a duty to spell out the risks of leaving the EU.

:02:34. > :02:42.Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth reports.

:02:43. > :02:49.In this campaign, no issue is out of bounds. From the impact on travel to

:02:50. > :02:53.food, jobs and immigration. Today the Prime Minister opened up a new

:02:54. > :02:58.front, repeating his warning that Brexit would damage the economy, but

:02:59. > :03:03.saying that could impact on public services, notably pensions. Quoting

:03:04. > :03:09.predictions of a hole in public finances. They say there would be

:03:10. > :03:13.around 820 to ?40 billion black hole. You could meet that by putting

:03:14. > :03:18.up taxes on ordinary hard-working people, or by borrowing more and

:03:19. > :03:23.putting the economy at risk, or cuts in things like pensions or health or

:03:24. > :03:28.other... My point is we don't have to vote for that, we don't have too

:03:29. > :03:32.risk it. At the moment, the state pension is protected by what is

:03:33. > :03:37.called a triple lock, meaning it rises in line with earnings,

:03:38. > :03:43.inflation or 2.5%, whatever is higher. And pension benefits like

:03:44. > :03:46.free bus fare are protected -- some pension benefits. The prime

:03:47. > :03:51.ministers says this could be threatened. If you are as old as

:03:52. > :03:56.him, you will have found an increase in your pension. Pensioners have

:03:57. > :03:59.long been key voters, particularly to the Tories. Some Conservatives

:04:00. > :04:05.campaigning to leave the EU say the fact that they are being targeted is

:04:06. > :04:09.a sign of desperation from a failing Remain campaign. It is fear on

:04:10. > :04:14.steroids, we have had months of regular theatre and now it has been

:04:15. > :04:17.amplified. I do not understand that the Prime Minister is undermining

:04:18. > :04:22.our own manifesto promise on pensions. The UK pleaded today

:04:23. > :04:26.dismissed the suggestion that using -- leaving the EU would cause

:04:27. > :04:32.economic turmoil. They are ludicrous scare stories. Even if sterling were

:04:33. > :04:36.to fall a few percentage points after Brexit, so what? We have a

:04:37. > :04:40.floating currency and it would be good for X boards. But even those

:04:41. > :04:48.who say claims on both sides have been exaggerated, they warn there is

:04:49. > :04:53.a with two Brexit. -- it would be good for X boards. I think there is

:04:54. > :04:57.a whisk, no doubt. There is a risk to the pound in the short-term,

:04:58. > :05:02.which would have consequences. The economic argument is key to the

:05:03. > :05:06.Remain campaign. It seems the stakes are so high that no group of voters

:05:07. > :05:07.is free from the increasing volume of campaign claims.

:05:08. > :05:10.The Government has denied that it might allow some Turkish citizens

:05:11. > :05:13.The Sunday Times has obtained documents written

:05:14. > :05:17.by a British diplomat in Ankara, suggesting that ministers should

:05:18. > :05:21.consider granting visa free access to holders of Turkish special

:05:22. > :05:25.passports such as civil servants and teachers.

:05:26. > :05:31.The Leave campaign say it amounts to a deceit on the British public.

:05:32. > :05:34.European football's governing body, Uefa, has said it's starting

:05:35. > :05:37.disciplinary proceedings against Russia following the violent

:05:38. > :05:41.clashes at the end of last night's match with England.

:05:42. > :05:43.A group of Russian fans charged England supporters, who tried

:05:44. > :05:51.Uefa says it's also investigating Russia

:05:52. > :06:03.The whistle has gone, the game is over, a 1-1 draw. Some Russian

:06:04. > :06:07.supporters are moving out of that area towards the England fans.

:06:08. > :06:13.As the match ended, trouble began. England fans were forced to flee

:06:14. > :06:20.back -- across the rows of white seats when Russian supporters next

:06:21. > :06:24.to them later flares and charged across the barriers. There was a

:06:25. > :06:28.large bang, then Russian supporters were charging towards the England

:06:29. > :06:33.fans. We saw everybody charging and we thought, we had better move. I

:06:34. > :06:35.saw a bunch of Russian fans running to the England fans, the England

:06:36. > :06:40.fans were running and jumping over the fence, it was awful.

:06:41. > :06:44.In the aftermath of the game, some fans to the BBC they were not

:06:45. > :06:47.surprised that flares were smuggled inside, as the searches beforehand

:06:48. > :06:53.were lax. Uefa says it is opening disciplinary

:06:54. > :06:57.proceedings against the Russian FA for crowd disturbances, racist

:06:58. > :07:02.behaviour and setting off fireworks. Russia's sports Minister is reported

:07:03. > :07:05.to have said he expects a fine from Uefa for what he described as

:07:06. > :07:11.incorrect behaviour. More flares and clashes followed in

:07:12. > :07:15.Marseille after the match, but police said the trouble was

:07:16. > :07:18.sporadic, isolated and not on the scales seem to ring the day

:07:19. > :07:22.yesterday, when there were running battles involving riot police with

:07:23. > :07:29.tear gas and water cannon and small groups of English, Russian and,

:07:30. > :07:33.apparently, local French hooligans. That is too, says the English

:07:34. > :07:36.football Association, is unacceptable. It is in the hands of

:07:37. > :07:39.the relevant authorities to identify those involved with the trouble and

:07:40. > :07:44.deal with them appropriately and quickly. At this time, the FA urges

:07:45. > :07:49.England supporters to act in a respectful manner and support

:07:50. > :07:54.England in the right way. Today, Marseille is cleaning up and

:07:55. > :07:56.looking back at 24 hours of trouble. Uefa's hearing against Russia is

:07:57. > :07:59.scheduled for Tuesday. A huge street party is about to get

:08:00. > :08:02.underway on The Mall in central London to celebrate the Queen's

:08:03. > :08:04.official 90th birthday. Her Majesty will be joined by around

:08:05. > :08:08.10,000 people representing more than 600 charities which have links

:08:09. > :08:11.with the Queen, as our royal correspondent

:08:12. > :08:12.Nicholas Witchell reports. It will be in the rain,

:08:13. > :08:26.unfortunately! It is all shaping up to be, well,

:08:27. > :08:30.very British. A street party in the rain. Overnight, The Mall had been

:08:31. > :08:35.transformed into a very large picnic site with row upon row of trestle

:08:36. > :08:39.tables. Onto The Mall in the steady rain came the first of 10,000

:08:40. > :08:44.guests, Rennie from charities with which the Queen is associated. They

:08:45. > :08:49.have paid ?150 per ticket, a price set by the organisers, one of whom

:08:50. > :08:54.is the grandson of the Queen, Peter Phillips. This is not a state funded

:08:55. > :09:00.event, like the jubilees, for example. Also we have been sold out

:09:01. > :09:04.for a while. All of the organisation's response to this

:09:05. > :09:09.event has been amazing. Nothing could have budgeted for

:09:10. > :09:15.this, and unrelenting downpour. Time for a bit of national grit, as

:09:16. > :09:18.exemplified by Dave Esther Rantzen. Assisted victory English. It is

:09:19. > :09:24.important to have a queue and some rain and a picnic hamper. And a

:09:25. > :09:30.palace. And everybody is very jolly and looking forward to it so much.

:09:31. > :09:34.And so said guest after guests. We are hoping we will have a good day,

:09:35. > :09:39.rain and all. The atmosphere with everybody, it has been lovely so

:09:40. > :09:41.far. It is raining hard, but nobody minds. We are here to do it

:09:42. > :09:48.together. If things go to plan, the Queen will

:09:49. > :09:51.drive a The Mall later and watch a parade representing different

:09:52. > :09:56.aspects of her reign. One thing is sure, she will need an umbrella.

:09:57. > :10:00.What is the outlook? Not great at the moment, but it is suggested that

:10:01. > :10:04.the rain may ease off this afternoon.

:10:05. > :10:08.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:10:09. > :10:10.The next news on BBC One is at 7:10pm.

:10:11. > :10:31.It started to rain today even before the parade started. Perhaps a hint

:10:32. > :10:33.of optimism, it looks like
